I will yield to Chairman Royce for a colloquy, and I will ask him the following questions. As I read this bill, if Congress does not enact a Joint Resolution of Disapproval, that failure to enact a Resolution of Disapproval cannot be read…
I thank the gentleman for his comments. Mr. Speaker, I am here on the House floor where we, today, should be voting on a resolution to recognize the Armenian genocide. Several of us, I believe including the gentleman from California…
I thank the distinguished chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee. I want to associate myself with his comments and particularly thank him for focusing our attention on the struggles of the people of Artsakh. Mr. Speaker, one should…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. I thank the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Luetkemeyer) for his tireless work on this bill. This bill has passed virtually unanimously this House in the 111th, 112th, and 113th Congresses. Now it has…
On rollcall No. 145, had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.'' ____________________
And in fact, in the Joint Plan of Action, we have required that Iran come clean on its past actions as part of any comprehensive agreement.
The Financial Services bill contains quite a number of noncontroversial provisions that will improve Dodd-Frank, and we could improve our economy today and have a bill on the President's desk by the end of the month. But no, the majority…
I will be circulating a letter for signature urging the administration not to prosecute General Petraeus. It will ask Eric Holder to use his prosecutorial discretion to close the file now. And if Attorney General Holder will not do so, to…
A point of parliamentary inquiry. Is there any method that allows me to object when a Member says something demonstrably false? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas is under recognition and has not yielded for the purpose of a…
If you trample on democracy and discard regular order, you can run a remarkably efficient House of Representatives. This rule is an abomination of procedure, wrapped in another abomination of procedure, all wrapped up in a third…
Is it your understanding that the training bases will be outside Syria? I yield to the gentleman from California. Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, that is my understanding.
Whichever comes first. So it could even be sooner than December 11. Second, the administration has stated that it will use this authority to train Syrian fighters outside Syria. I have a fact sheet, which I will enter into the Record…
I thank the gentleman for his answers. Attached, please find a fact sheet on the Title X program, as well as a Q&A your boss may mind helpful. I stand by ready to answer any questions. --Robert Robert N. Marcus, Special Assistant to the…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. This is not a perfect plan. What America wants is a plan that guarantees success, and that success should be total destruction of ISIS immediately and without U.S. casualties. But the plan is a…
By our failure to repeal and replace the War Powers Act resolution, which no longer fits current circumstances, we are complicit with many administrations in the multidecade decline of the role of this Congress in shaping American foreign…
We ought to focus on what is the appropriate foreign policy and what is the appropriate role in Congress. I rise in support of this amendment. In fact, the amendment is quite similar to the Free Syria Act, which was introduced by several…
Given that, how can it be said that it is a good use of Congress' time to pass some formal resolution attacking the President for not applying to this situation a code section so infirm? I think that what we are doing today is dodging the…
We are here to consider a technical violation of section 1035 of the National Defense Authorization Act. A fair reading of that section would indicate that it is drafted and focused on gratuitous prisoner releases, the many occasions prior…
If we cannot get to a comprehensive agreement, that they will likely face even more sanctions than they are currently facing.
Iran is quite well aware that all of our options and the world's options are on the table.
We would not have agreed to an extension if we didn't believe we had made tangible progress and we did not see a path to a...
I agree that the best road for Iran, from our perspective, is that they have no enrichment program whatsoever.
I and many others have urged that human rights be integrated with the talks on the nuclear issue with Iran.
The ultimate goal of any negotiations is that Iran come into full compliance with U.N. Security Council resolutions.
We have made clear that we are calling on Iran to release Mr. Hekmati and Mr. Abedini.
